News in Brief: Airlift From Ice Island. Ice station Charlie, hundreds of miles north of Pt. Barrow, Alaska, begins to break up in raging storms. The 8-square-mile floe carries scientists and 10 tons of equipment and apparatus, all airlifted out in a desperate race with the angry Arctic. Night shot of ice station. Men (bundled up) move cargo; their breath is visible in the cold. Bulldozer. Tent with light glowing from inside. Interior of station, men sit at tables eating.
